i understand that but it was 1 bad half all season , i can understand if we have had 3 bad games followed by a half like that!
FWIW i didnt applaud them off as i didnt think they did enough to warrant my applause but i didnt or wont boo them for underperforming in 1 half of a game !

| A performance to forget today. I'm not for booing when a strongly worded letter will suffice.

| Dont agree with booing at all! Jeez if booin your team was popular for the last 20 years i would have spent more time booin than cheering. Some ppl should just think where we were a few years ago and realise that we sometimes have days like this

| I seem to recall last season the grand final champions lost to salford and to crusaders - were they booed off at the final - I dont think so perhaps if people got behind there team and didnt pull them down at the first hurdle, they could lift themselves. Untill this point i think we should be behind them 100% win or loose. If you as a workman under perform your manager deals with you not joe public. Yes I agree you pay your money, you have an opinon, but please keep it among yourself as if you air it you demorolise the team, surely thats not what we want. Leave it to Nathan Brown, Coach of the year.

| That's 6 of them then - any more?
As it was I'd say Hudds brought about 2.5 times more fans than Wakey did for their last visit (not that it makes them any better than you - comparing attendances tends to be limited to those who have lost out previously when comparing coc[size=1.[/sizek sizes).

| Booing your team is not acceptable behaviour regardless how badly they perform . Clap them , shout for them , yell for them , cheer for them . But don't jeer them . They may not be performing as well as you might expect , but trust me , they won't be out there on the pitch wanting to lose .
It's only a game . It's great to win , but somebody has to lose .
There's always next week .

20 years ago though we didn't have the quality of player we have now. I can live with losing games when the effort is there but it was for all to see yesterday that they couldn't be d giving 100%. If you're happy to pay your money and travel to watch that performance then fair enough. I wasn't.

It doesn't say in meast's post that he was happy though, does it.

The last part wasn't necessarly aimed at meast. I was quoting him for the 20 years part. We are all quick enough to boo the ref for inept performances, why should our players be any different?

One difference is that the players represent your club and the referee doesn't.

Because RARELY does it do any good and more often than not demoralises people.
there are many ways to show your displeasure. Booing is probably the least costructive.
when things have gone bad that is the time players need your support. They do not need anyone to boo them when things have gone bad.
the problem yesterday was as much do do with the team selection and the coaching as anything else. I did not detect a lack of effort as 3 tries in the last 10 minutes showed. I detected , complacency, too many team changes, blooding youngsters, a poor game plan and execution. Be dissappointed yes but booing is ridiculous. We are 4th in the table and there have been plenty of upsets in the rounds so far.
The problem is some fans think we have the right to win every game or , ''EASY'' games. That may have been the atitiude of Leeds and Saints in the past but we are not in that bracket yet.
You have to earn the right to win a game. yesterday we did not.
If we beat Wigan in 3 weeks that does that make everything alright again.

You'd think so with the noise that comes from the stands when we have a bad ref such as Halibut.

...and on a less blinkered view they both represent our sport.

Do all people boo the ref or don't they?
Your observation of the louder boos for the referee only serves to prove that there are numbers in the crowd who disagree with your opinion.... there is a difference between booing the referee and booing their team. No?

Are you saying that those who don't boo are actually blinkered? LOL!
You're booing the team 'in the name of rugby league'? LOL!

| No, I just won't defend our boys when they deserve a bashing. If the ref's good enough for a boo then so are our players. If people don't feel the need to boo then so be it.

| ponner, like anyone else who was there yesterday i was far from happy mate im just saying that we cant win every game and sometimes we have bad games or games where the opposition are just better than us, i just dont see what booing actually achieves,each to their own and all that i respect,but fans have to learn to take the rough with the smooth,under this coach we've had very few bad games,i just think to boo the team after a rare bad game is a bit out of hand, but thats just my opinion,if people feel the need to boo after every defeat then thats up to them it dont mean i have to like it.
anyway hopefully we'll be back to cheering on friday

| got to agree with you meast well said, i was as disappointed as anyone with the performance but booing has never been my answer, will moan about it with fellow fans but jeering the team is counter productive, if someone did that to me when i had a bad day at work it wouldnt encourage me to try harder in truth it would make me worse.

| When I have taken the time to go and watch the team away, I expect them to perform better than they did. Granted any team can have an off day, but the effort was not there, it was just like they could not be bothered.
It is the first time I have left a game early (12 minutes in fact ).
I have watched the game for 40 odd years and seen some thumpings, but that display took the biscuit, I don`t think I bood them off at half-time, but I agree with those that did.
